Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

Do I not know what belies mean? This looks exactly what 16 v 19 should look like

Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.


Interesting to see that Fraser Rosman is currently lining up for Port Melbourne.

Schache - good, but could easily be better, not screaming afl 

Fullarton - Schache with more speed but less skill

Jeffo - stats aren’t there but looked faster and more willing, not his worst game. No coordination going forward 

KFW - probably the worst, but geez he barely plays. Such a waste of time him turning up 

Willy V - slowed a bit in q2 and did a few too many ruckman things, doesn’t kick as well as he thinks.

Laurie - cracking in hard but he can’t break in to space and the missed tackles are killers

Hunter - a mile off

Tomlinson - lifted but still meh

Turner - reading it beautifully  and getting hands on it, rusty but promising 

Adams - gets spun around too easily, gets caught flat footed with the ball and bangs it to no one.

AMW - willing tackler, competes well, decision making/ball use shaky 

Sesto - good when he finds the ball, just doesn’t find enough

Kynan Brown - willing, able 

 

HTB against Curry every day there.

Jeffo really needs to get more involved.  I may have missed a few but barely sighted for mine


I know he's had a shoulder issue but Ollie's run past the ball quite a bit today and / or just sits back ball watching.

Laurie showing plenty.     
Fullarton has promise for the near future.      
Verrall definitely in time.     
Turner not bad for a first up run.   
Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts.  
Grave doubts about Jefferson.    
Put a line through Sestan.    
Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?
 

Why does this commentator scream in to the mic at every shot at goal? Someone fix him. Please. It’s been going on for years

Moniz is a forward every day of the week.  Madness trying to make him into something he isn't imv.

Will he learn some defensive aspects...maybe.  But in the course of doing so he might also lose some of his crumbing/ offensive flair, skill and intuition.

He is the worst... and often louder for anyone non-Casey

You don’t lose skills in a few weeks and we have no small defensive depth, but the moment we have any defenders back he needs to go forward again. 

Brown having a pretty good day

I get that but its not like he's going to be the difference down back.  He might up forward and in the mean time has no chance to score and possibly stick his hand up for a berth at senior level either.

What a waste.

Hunter can play his role from here surely

Also very little pressure when the ball hits the deck inside 50.  You just had Turner come all the way from HB after being involved in the first part of the chain there.... then having to put a 3rd effort in to try and pressure loose Port players inside 50.

Ridiculous

Verrall’s mastered the Gawn move (hit it straight to the opposition mids)

Turner up forward is an interesting move

You thought that to I don't mind it.

Hasn't looked out of place either, taken some marks up the wing and used his body well.

Plus he he's a good pack mark

Getting beaten purely by the Port’s strong bodies ability to get hands out whilst being tackled. And umpires giving them a ridiculous amount of leeway to do so

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
